[QUOTE="Mystymantis, post: 307856, member: 9416"] Yes, male grasshoppers do sing, although it is done differently then crickets. Grasshoppers use their legs to make a more clicking like noise, but crickets use their wings to sing. I have never cultured grasshoppers, but I have fed wild ones on occasion to my mantises. I think most grasshoppers you find in the wild (at least in the US) only have one generation a year, so that might be a problem in culturing them because they would not make lots of nymphs all the time, unlike feeder crickets which will breed more often.
